4.4 How to Receive Distress Relay from Coast Sta-
tion
Your ship receives the distress relay when:
• The coast station sends the distress relay to your ship (DISTRESS RELAY INDI-
VIDUAL).
• The coast station sends the distress relay to the area where you are navigating
(DISTRESS RELAY AREA).
When you receive a distress relay message from a coast station, continue monitoring
distress and safety frequencies. The audio alarm sounds and the LED flashes in red.
The icon ( ) appears in the tab area and the pop-up message appears on the
screen.
1. Press the CANCEL key to silence the audio alarm, stop the flashing of the LED
and erase the pop-up message.
2. Watch distress/safety frequency.
If you receive a DISTRESS RELAY INDIVIDUAL call with the different frequency from
the transceiver unit, for example, the following message appears on the screen.
Rotate the ENTER knob to select [Agree] then push the knob. The radiotelephone au-
tomatically sets working frequency.
If you change the communication frequency, do the following:
1. Rotate the ENTER knob to select [CHANGE] in the user options
area then push the knob.
2. Rotate the ENTER knob to select working frequency then push
the knob.
